Kate Hughes's Linkedin Analytics

No one wants to be a bad manager. But many are. And mostly, it’s not their fault. Transitioning through management is exciting and sometimes daunting. New leaders often face a knowledge and skills gap about what it means to be an effective leader. When that gap isn’t plugged, it leads to low performance, disengagement, poor wellbeing and high attrition. Gallup stated their most profound finding was 70% of variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager. Managers are pivotal for success. Choosing to work with me is choosing a holistic approach to your managers’ learning. Your leaders will gain fundamental skills and develop the mindset needed for effective management and leadership. They will rapidly acquire the tools and behaviours they need to get the best from themselves and their teams. After working with me, you’ll see them: 🔹Driving performance and engagement 🔸Communicating confidently, engaging people with stories 🔹Handling difficult conversations skilfully 🔸Treating people like individuals, co-creating motivating goals 🔹Influencing with ease 🔸Successfully delegating and developing others 🔹Believing in themselves With 20 years’ experience leading high-performing teams, my mission is to empower new and aspiring leaders to develop the fundamental skills needed to thrive and succeed as a leader. I’m an EMCC accredited coach practitioner, and have worked in senior roles both in-house and as a consultant with a leading management consultancy firm focused on people performance and development.

Kate’s brilliant delivery... engaging, full of enthusiasm... easy to understand... good humour and great anecdotes.” 🌟 “Great facilitation, Kate knows her stuff and is passionate.” 🌟 "Kate was very engaging... adapted her style... encouraged participation... we were all sad for it to finish." I do this work because the impacts of poor management and leadership spread far and wide. It affects many. I’m tired of it. I’m sure you are too. I'm passionate about giving future leaders the skills and belief to lead with courage, connect if you are too. When I’m not empowering leaders, I can be found empowering my strong-willed daughter and attempting to recall two batty dogs! 💌 DM me for a chat about how I can help you. “The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born – that there’s a genetic factor to leadership. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.” ~Warren Bennis
